Got two of these with +26 agil..... love 'em!The boost in hit also means I can sub out some hit for crit on other bits of gear.

Comment by Egenoth

I do hope you're a hunter. A rogue with two of these is next to useless.

Good pre heroic weapon for dual wielding Death Knights who favor faster weapons for more Killing Machine procs.

Comment by Shoryukos

This is a great pre-raid sword for a rogue as well. Sure, there are better out there, such as http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37255 from Occulus Heroic, but this is easier to get. If you have sour luck with swords dropping in heroics, it might be worth picking this up.

I can confirm that this sword when duel wielded by a hunter is brilliant when using Aspect of the Viper. The mana regen is amazing, you can fill up from empty in no time at all. Its easy to use on mobs coz most WOTLK mobs are weak, but in BGs you can try and mellee someone who is fighting someone else to get the regen. Obviously as a hunter with AoV on you wouldnt mellee any player 1on1 lol. The stats are also good for hunter and the HR kick is great and allowed me to sub out some HR on other gear for crit.

Rep grinding this faction to honoured to get this is easy. All Wyrmrest quests and dailies (there are 3) are gotten from only 2 quest points. One is the obvious Wyrmrest Temple and the other is in Coldarra tn NW Boreen Tundra. Look for the big bubble shield jsut as you enter Coldarra from the south.

If you can group up and also do the dungeon dailies in Coldarra you will get there even faster. I will be grinding WA rep till exalted as i want the Epic red drake flying mount. Nice replacement for my current Skettis one. same speed, but cooler looking. One of the dailies in Wyrnrest temple lets you test drive one as part of the daily.

how do these compare to the cobalt slicers?

Comment by HORRYSCHMOKES

You may not realize it, but this is actually one of the best Rogue combat off-hand swords available before getting either Grasscutter, Hatestrike, Hailstorm or even Avool's Sword of Jin. Reason? The speed and hit rating coupled with it being a sword make it very, very nice indeed. I even got Maexxna's Femur recently, but Fang of Truth beats it out, despite have over 20dps less and worse stats (besides Hit).

Long story short, buy this sword, along with the Reaper of Dark Souls, and you'll be one happy Rogue.

Honestly. I consider this a grown up Colbalt Slicer. And the eldest sibling of this lovely sword is here ---> Reaper of Dark SoulsThough, it DOES lack Agility which I believe (opinion) is completely made up for with the extra Attack Power and the Crit. This is obviously from the point of view of a DW hunter. :P

Not entirely. You do get the crit, yes, but in the case of Hunters, where you won't actually be up in the face of your enemy swinging melee around, you lose a lot in the transition. With the Reaper, you lose Stamina (thereby losing AP given from Hunter vs. Wild (if specced)), and you actually lose AP from the weapon itself.

The Reaper gives 66 AP straight up. The Fang gives 48 AP straight up, and then an extra 32 AP from the 32 AGI the weapon gives you, for a total of 80 AP.

Additionally, if specced for it, Expose Weakness gives you an additional amount of AP based off of 25% of your Agility.

In the end, despite the level requirement, the Fang of Truth is far better than the Reaper for Hunters.

Comment by Cerberus

You won't have Hunter vs. Wild if you care about your dps when entering your first raid. You don't have 8 points to spare for it. What makes dualwielding these as a hunter interesting is the ~2% hit and that's pretty significant. The rest of the stats are also pretty sweet even if a bit much is dumped in stamina.

Comment by BoboHiro

what would be better for a hunter : this or Runeblade of Demonstrable Power?

Comment by baconfruit

It actually in my opinion isnt that good. I know im gonna get some complaints but I have to say i do 754-962 damage with a savage cobalt slicer and the fang of truth as an offhand, but I do 465-554 dps with my fang of truth as a main hand. Can anyone here explain why? Not sure if they nerfed it or something.

Comment by inachu

Any comments to add for this 4.0 release or is pretty much everything is the same in regards to this weapon?
